Thanks guys, i have cleaned the floppy several times but that did not work so will give disksalv a go will let you all know how i get on

Well I have tried disksalv and I have had no luck it takes ages to read the disk and the program deleted everything on it all I want is a program that when a floppy disk is inserted it will give me an option to repair the blocks. Is there a program that can do it?

Franko thanks for the reply i have set disksalv to repair mode and started the repair process but is it suppose to take such a long time to do it? i remeber back in the day when i had an old copy of x-copy and i could scan the disk, it would then find the faults on the disk and then repair them?

i will give disksalv another go and be patient when its doing its job    . I was testing disksalv out with the disk that loss its data but it is not that important to me as it was only a bckup of a font disk.

Well i think i now know what the problem is when ever im trying to format any floppy disk (full format not a quick format) my system says it cant read cyclinder 0 so im guessing that 1 or both of my CIA chips are faulty.?

I have tested the floppys on 2 disk drives and still get the same error? so could it be that my CIA chip(s) are faulty?

I have had the problem before tried different hard drives done fresh installs of workbench but the problem is still there I've also notice my mouse is playing up aswell as my gamepads so I'm thinking that my CIA chips could be the fault

Can't guarantee that it will fix your problem, but replacing the CIA chips is a simple procedure, if you have access to the replacement chips.  I have only had to do it once, when I lost the proper function of my mouse long ago on an A2000.  I don't really remember what caused it to go bad, or how I traced the problem to the CIA chip, but replacing it fixed the problem I was having, so I quickly forgot about it.  IIRC, I only had to replace one of my CIA chips and I don't remember how I knew which one to replace.

Where can i buy/get replacement CIA chips from?
